Any way to do so? I'd like to change players nick to a value, but when he leaves server it's reset. Can you fake scoreboard messages or something to make this possible?

I guess you can save the players name in an array and when he disconnects change it back.
But client_disconnect doesn't always get called soon enough, so there's no guarantee that it will change back :/

Use set_user_info

I don't think it's possible without actually changing the player's name... I dunno about orpheu tough.

I think it *never* calls soon enough because it calls after the player already left the game and even if there's a connection still active, the client game would most likely ignore any commands.

That's the slowhacking method, it changes the player's settings.

Well, you could grab their chat messages and change their names there. As for scoreboard, I don't think it's possible without changing the info. It honestly doesn't make sense that it would be possible to change scoreboard without nick.

set_user_info() is not slowhacking and does NOT change user settings. When they leave the server their name is as it was before they entered your server. This is why that is the only method that I will ever use for adding tags/points to names. I've done it several times for several requests regarding name changes.

Hmm, set_user_info() just fakes user info in the current server, it doesn't send "setinfo" commands to the client ? So other setinfo values would be ok too no ?

Afaik, it sets the user's info that is stored in the server. Consider this scenario:

• My name is "Fysiks".
• I change my name via the plugin with set_user_info() to "Physics"
• I type in my client console: name "Fysiks"
• It does nothing because my game still thinks my name is "Fysiks" and doesn't know it was changed to "Physics".

This functionality makes it great for censoring names because they can try to exec config.cfg but won't make any difference because the client thinks nothing has changed even though the name is censored in the game.

This is my experience of using that function.

Awesome was not aware of this

So set_user_info() doesnt really set the name, it just makes the game to assume that the name has been change, right ?
